26.8 suggests it may be tange 2 tubing. Which is odd considering kenevans is an australian based builder, and tange is more commonly used in japan. none the less, great frame!

Not so. Many Aussie frame builders used Tange tubing. It is good stuff. Easily as good as Reynolds and Columbus tubing at the time. It was used because it was cheaper.

Your track frame is a touch small, 53 yeah? Believe me i've thought about it! Dress her in a superbe pro track group, now that would be matchy matchy :lol:

and a little OCD

by **munga** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:14 pm

yeah its 53.5 c-c st, but i'm comparing headtubes and i think i should put some wheels under it and measure standover.

by **ben_is_fixed** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 8:39 am

I'd be keen to see what the geo is like with some wheels on it & standover height

by **munga** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:34 pm

805mm standover.

standby for pics.

by **munga** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:44 pm

23c tyres

by **BRLVR.v2** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:52 pm

That's a nice frame Shannon. Why u No build up and ride?
Is it Square or is the TT a smidge longer?

by **munga** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:59 pm

yeah its square, must be my phone pics making it look funny.

can't really justify building something so clean. life's too short to look at bikes on a wall.

That's why you'd ride it ya doofus

Everything has to get scuffed sometime. I't's even drilled so you can run a front Brake, and join the sw8 fixay scene.

Man that's a tight gap on the front. Gorgeous frame.
